Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.

The fake flowers on my window still are casting curious shadows on the wall. A small reminiscence of summer. But, there's no longer any doubt. It has arrived. Autumn. It's time to pile on clothes again, thick layers of cotton and wool. Am I crazy to head over to Iceland now? Perhaps; but it's going to be amazing! I just know it.

Until next week, my beautiful friends. I'll be on Instagram!

Next week I'm traveling to Iceland; hence the title - "where are you going" in Icelandic. It is both a dream come true and a bit of a contradiction, as it is even colder there than in Oslo right now. I guess I'll be getting a head start on winter this way. I'm stuffing my bag with chunky knits and comfortable clothes, and maybe even some super duper wool underwear to keep me warm.

Have you ever been to Iceland? I've been searching for travel tips online today, but I'm kind of overwhelmed by the amount of information that is out there. Something as simple as the names are confusing me. Slippidippir, kvitnirsitnir and dopparappir. These are made up, by the way. I'm not only staying in the capital; Reykjavik - but going on kind of a road trip all over the island. I'm really excited about it, and can't wait to see all the different fjords, glaciers and volcanoes. Not to mention the semi-wild horses!

There are at least three things on my must-see and must-do list. Of course, Blue Lagoon Spa is first on my list. I can almost feel the warm water on my skin as I write this. Then there is the Weekend Marked behind the police station in Reykjavik, which is the best road map given by the internet - ever. And then there is the Thingvellir National Park, which is on the world heritage list. They say variation is key! There is of course a thousand things I could mention, but as I said earlier - the amount of information is just throwing me for a loop. If you by any chance is an Icelandic reader, or have been to the beautiful island - please feel free to give me your best suggestions!

F*ck it - I just want to be happy.

You know how everyone is always talking about how they wish they could just quit their job and follow their dreams? Or how they complain about this and that - and never really start living their lives? How they wish they could just say "fuck it - I just want to be happy"?

I think people talk too much, and act to little. Yes, you too!

Then you turn around and you try this thing called following your dreams, and people do nothing but judge you and talk about you behind your back. It's a viscous circle. But why do we really care?

I'm really trying to pursuit my happiness; my dreams and my idea of life. Yes, some months I can't pay my bills. Some months I can only eat pasta and sausages. But I don't care. I'm perfectly happy snuggling up in blankets on the sofa with my lover - even though it's because I can't afford to turn the heat up. I gladly boil some water and drink a cup of tea instead of going out to a crowded bar - I actually prefer it most of the time. I love shopping in second hand store, and though I'm no stranger to designer cravings and fast fashion flashes - I reuse, recycle, invest and recognize what's good for me, my family and the environment.

I don't need the new it-bag to be happy. I don't need a magazine to tell me what's hot and what's not. Most of the time I just wear what I want to wear, and even though people may look at me funny - I really don't pay that much attention to them anyways. I am that self centered. Just like you. We are the main characters of our own lives. There's no shame in that, so you just play your role and let the supporting characters do whatever the hell they want.

There, I said it. Now; back to the usual program.
